One would think PBS would be above puns like this... ::)

9 PM Meeting Of Minds (Steve Allen brings together
historical figures--played by actors--to discuss
various topics.)

Great concept, and one of the best things Steverino ever did. (Even if it did suffer from the obvious fact that every female historical figure was played by wifey Jayne Meadows. Nepotism....go fig...) I believe to this day, some schools still use these shows in their history classes.

9 PM Hal Roach Studio Presents

I don't remember this package. Was it primarily the "biggies" (Laurel and Hardy, Our Gang, Harold Lloyd), or did they also work Chase, Langdon, Todd/Pitts and others into the mix?
 
Never saw it, and don't recall any other stations
airing it. If they did throw in some of the people
you mentioned, though, there would certainly be
some lost classics.
